These long evenings are great for late walks and sketching. Husb and I strolled down to the beach an hour or so ago and I stopped for a quick scribble. I’ve done very little drawing en plein air recently as I’ve been so busy on other art projects but I have missed my daily sketch, I think it ‘s good practice, like a musician doing their scales or chords.
When I’m doing quick drawings in public, I’ve noticed that the people often end up looking a bit like figures by Lowry, the distant bodies, drawn at speed, easily resemble stick figures. When I’m working fast, there’s not enough time to focus on details, rather I concentrate on the mark making, to try and produce something that’s a bit different. I drew this with a Faber Castell Pitt drawing pen into my A5 black bound sketchbook.
Lovely sketch. I do really enjoy your sketches. Have a lovely day! 😀
Thank you 🙂
Cool plein air sketch, and thanks for the reference to Lowry. I enjoy learning about artists of the past.
Thank you Sharon. He’s often described as a primitive painter but his work is based on painstaking drawings. 😊
